I've been doing good and lost quite a bit on my own lately. I'm going to try this again and see if I can stick to it better and lose even more. I work full time in the emergency dept where I live, part time on an ambulance and am a full time s... Read more

What a busy summer. This summer was hard on my waistline. The meds they had me on upped my weight, with the kids home I didn't get my workouts in as much, but now it's time to get serious again. I do this every year. I'm tired of the up and ... Read more

My cousin just found out she has beast cancer. She is in the advanced stages, and the doctors are disagreeing about whether to do surgery or start chemo because it is so out of control. As they argue, she sits screaming "I don't have TIME for ... Read more

I'm just wasting some time until I can leave to go shooting. I love going out to the range, especially with my pistol. Nothing better then firing off a few rounds when your stress level is high. I find it very therapeutic and relaxing - I may... Read more

When we moved into this new building I was so excited that they have a fitness center. Unfortunately a month later I have not set foot in it. Why? Because I'm scared to death of being laughed at or looked at like "geez, look at fatso". I kn... Read more
